K. Tire Weld Co. G. R. (Red) Jarrard, Hills Flat, Grass Valley, California. Capulin Mountain National Monument, N. M. This tremendous heap of cinders was blown out of the earth 2000 years ago. A mile in diameter at its base, it towers 8,368 ‘feet above sea-level and is topped b a yawning crater 1,450 feet wide. From the crater rim, a_ broad sweep of northeastern New Mexico is visible—to the west the bulking, snow capped Saingire -de-Christos mountain range-—to the south and '.@ast great plains that resounded to ° the tramp of buffalo herds in the «days of the fierce Comanche and Ki«wa Indians,Capulin Mountain stands ina small, 680 acre tract set aside as a National Monument in 1916. A barren pile of black cinders when it was young, it has acquired a coat of pines and shrubs, the latter mak. ing fairly good eating from the way a few deer we happened upon were chewing them. Many varieties of wild cherries which gave the mountains their Spanish name. Right now the mountain is ablaze with a new, spring crop of wild flowers, beautifying what must have been at onetime an ominous and terrifying sight. Three miles out of the town of Capulin we reached the Monument’s entrance All along the two mile road that encircles the mountain and ends in a broad parking area on its top, we observed layers of fine volcanic ash and layers of lava pebbles where the road and the elements have cut through the mountains sruface.

They were similar to those I saw around the still active Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii a few years ago. As we began to climb, we passed a small cave that. has given up many specimens of prehistoric Indian handiwork. Rounding the slope, another extinct volcan burst into view —the 11,000 foot Sierra’ Grande, 15 miles away. Older than Capulin, it is one of the largest mountains in America isolated from a mountain range, Next we sighted a broad, 3 mile flow of lava once a molten stream on the mountain side, now frozen into a rippling black band. Further on we paused to look out over the area made world famous to archeologists only 15 years ago, Prehistoric Indian ‘writings —strange, undecihperable arrow signs — were found on the rocks. Nearby are picture writings that we later examined close at hand, Nothing is known of their meaning but figures of animals and men stood out clearly, possbily a story told by some ancient mountain dweller. Reaching the summit, we hiked around .the cup-shaped crater, 700 feet deep and cluttered with cinders and ash. Dead now and quiet, it was a rumbling inferno when our calendar was born. The view, in all directions from this rim was magnificent. At dusk the mountain began to merge with the purpling. sky above —a sky that glowed an angry red 2,000 years ago. Capulin may not be as spectacular now as it was then, re its quiet beauty is well worth a visit. . operating the most economical Re-Capping a Specialty WELD CO. GARRARD Grass Valley, .California.

More useful for most of us would be another on how to avoid getting one.”’ Whether there is such a bulletin or whether Mr. Fink was just making a suggestion, we don’t know. But we do know there’s quite a lengthy government treatise just off the press on “How to lift heavy weights.”” We tremble to ‘think of how many people it took to amass all the pertinent facts and figures in thatlengthy illustrated’ report; how much it cost the government
printing office to produce and the . post office department to distribute; and finally, how many people in the 48 states have received the portentous information on weight-lifting who never propose to lift anything heavier than a relief or pension check, Under the title, ‘Oh, Hills, What Big Boundaries You Have!’’ the West wood Hills NewsPress recently reviewed a WPA compiled volume called “Guide for Los .Angeles and Environs.’’ Pointing out a few gems of misinformation concerning the terrain encompassed by Beverly Hills, and the enrollment at UCLA and USC, the News-Press concludes with the terse comment: ‘‘Based on the accuracy of portions of the volume, it is not difficult to see why the. writers are on the public rolls instead of working. With the cost of government srgirting ahead like a rookie answering mess growing heavier by the minute as defense needs mount, the average man wonders when some of the costly frills are going to be dispensed with. “Yet,”’ comments ithe Oakland Tribune, ‘‘we continue to receive government prepared bulletins on “Where Bed Sheets Wear Out!” The tremendous government output of largely irrelevent and often unfactual printed material is not, perhaps quite such an amusing little foible as we were once prone to consider it. It’s costly. And we’re the people who pay for it. LAND OF LIBERTY TO OPEN WEDNES. IN NEV. THEATRE “Land of Liberty,’’ which opens at the Nevada Theatre on Wednesday epitomizes more than a century and a half of American history in a feature motion picture that runs less than an hour and a half on _ the screen. By selecting sequences from 112 different features, shorts and newsreels, Cecil B. DeMille has brought to the screen in vivd flashes the story of millions of men and women who struggled to attain and defend American liberties. More than 139 film stars appear as historical characters in the well-knit narrative. The picture, reledsed by MetroGoldwyn-Mayer with proceeds going to war emergency welfare work, opens in Colonial times. Venturesome settlers in America, seeking second chance, build and organize local governFounding fathers of the republic are brought living to the screen. Patrick Henry, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton and James Madison are portrayed as personalities in action. By the magic of motion pictures historical events are revealed. Spectators sit with the men who drafted the Constitution and the Bill -of Right. They toil westward with restless pioneers, fight under Lincoln’s leadership to preserve the Union, and work with the men who built the first transcontinental railroad across a reunited country. — homes ments. “For this driver, drop a tear He tried coasting, out of gear.’ Beverly AUSTRALIA HAS GREAT SHEEP RANCH FRONTIER DAVIS, May 17—Australia’s bush country, the world’s greatest sheep producing area, is still.in many respects a primitive desert frontier, according to Professor J. F. Wilson ‘of the University of California College of Agriculture, Professor Wilson, wool specialist on the Davis campus, recently returned from a six months’ sabbatical leave much of which was spent visiting sheep stations in the Australian bush, a flat desert area in the interior of the continent where temperatures rise to 125 degrees in the shade and the average rainfall is only six inches per year. : Ranches in the bush are few and far between, says Professor Wison, and many towns are dreary, dusty little hamlets, Most buildings have corrugated iron roofs. Many children on the isolated ranches receive their schooling by correspondence. Black aborigines still live along the fringes of the sheep country, hunting, the kangaroos and ostriches in which the bush abounds, and following much the same tribal form of life they pursued when white men first arrived in Australia. Out of this flat desert waste, however, the Australians have built the greatest sheep growing industry in the world. The salt bush provides feed for flocks of: from 20,000 to 250,000'sheep. Fenced pastures may contain 60,000 acres. Professor Wil~ son visited one sheep station that eovered 961 square miles divided into pastures of 20 square miles each, and carrying 30,000 sheep. There he saw fifteen Merino rams that produced fleeces--weighing an —average—of— 30 pounds. *In the old days of the West very notch on the gun handle meant a bad man; nowadays every’ nick on the fender may mean a pedestrian.
